Samba Your Highest Joy

This all levels dance practice from Kimberly Miguel Mullen will ignite your passion and joy for living in the spirit of Carnival. Brazilian Carnival is one of the largest celebrations in the world during which people take to the streets in huge proportions to play music, dance, and sing in celebration of life – a tradition that stems from the emancipation slavery that dates back to the colonial period. This segment will feature the joyful, rhythmic and colorful Carnival dance steps of Samba and Samba Reggae (cultural dances that are recognized as Brazil’s national dances) from the North Eastern region of Brazil in the city of Salvador, Bahia.
